Und w der agootmaater did kick der lambs gwick ond: Likewise dot lamia* did loaf around on der ondaidca, Und did shoo der vlies mit bia dail off batiently abund Undii Mary did romea also rrom dot %*bUtou*fr oud. Und deu dot lamba did run right avay gwick to Mary, Und dit make bin bet on Mary'a arm**. Like be vould Raid, ‘‘l don't vaab achared. Mary Tould kept me vrom dhrimblcK anyhow 1" “Tot vaab der reaaon almud it of dot lamba and Mary?" Done Chilian did aak dot agoulmaater. “Veil, doud yon know it. dot Mary lofc due* lamba already!" Dot agoolmaxter dit aay, WISE ANO OTHER WISE. Why must logio have lega? Becanae it atanda to reaaon, “Elephant'* breath” la the latest fashion able color. It ia a deep drab. Made a bull-sigh—The markaman who went out at Creedmore and shot a cow. When does a dliip of war become a ship of peaoe ? When she drop* her rancor. Among the grave* at the poor-house cem etery is that of John Smith. Papers friendly to the family please copy. Here la the verdict of a Kansaa jury: “Died of a kick in the stomach from his wife, ami he never knew what hurt him." A wag found a acrawtty|nag in the streets Os Rochester, and hung a placard to hia ribs bearing this inscription : "Oats want ed, enquire within!” w ee-e- A little five-year-old somewhat surprised his mother a few days ago with the remark : “God ia everywhere ; he ia all over me; and when you spank mo you spank God!” “I don't think," said old Mrs. Pruwn, “that 1 >ook-keeping is anch a sedative em ployment. They uinst get," she added thoughtfully, "ao much exercise running up columns.” “Does our constant chatter disturb yon ?" •aked one of the three talkative ladies of a sober looking fellow passenger “No, mam ; I've been married nigh on to thirty years,” was the quiet reply. TTSS -. “Wherever you Dud many men, you find many minds,” exclaimed a public speaker “Taint so, by jingo!" responded gne of the auditors. “If you'd ask this whole crowd to drink, you'd find ’em all of ona mtnd.” “I guess dad wishes we’d all die end go to heaven," said a miser's son to his mater nal parent. “Wbv so?” she asked m>o recovering from her astonishment. “Oh, 'cause heaven's such a cheap place to live in.” - » »M The following, which is suggestive to aoffee drinkers, is from a tombstone in Connecticut; Here lies, out down like unripe fruit, The wife of Deacon Amos Shiite; She died of drinking too much coffee, Anno Dnininy eighteen forty. ■' ' www-a —. A pious but nueduoated Judge closed a sentence with the following touching re proach ; “Prisoner at the liar, nature has endowed you with a good education and respectable family connections; instead of which you go arouud the 'couutry after decks.” The bkhy was doubled up with the orampe, yelling at the rate of a mile a minute, as the father and mother stood over the crib with the hiudAuuin bottle be tween them. “No, Mariar," he said gently, but firmly, “you pour it out; that child's growing ao ranch like yonr mother that 1 cvn’t trust myself.” Our civilisation is fnli of such stories as this. A man in the town of Ilushford killed another naan’s dog. The son of the man whose dog was killed, therefore, pro ceeded to whip the men who killed the dog es the man he was son of. The man who was son us the man whose dog was killed waa arrested by the man whose dog the man assaulted and killud. The man who was arrested by the man who killed the d,>g of the man whom the man anested was aon of, for assaulting the mau who killed the dog, fiually settled the case up with the man who had the eon of the mail who own ed thn dog arrested for assnlting the man who killed the dog of the mau’s father who had been arrested. And this: Boma of our exchanges are publishing as acurions item, a statement to the effect that s Sorse -n lowa pulled the ping ont of the bung-hole of a barrel for the purpose of j slaking his thirst. We do not see anything j very extraordinary iu the occurrence. Now, ! if the botse had pulled the barrel out of the ; bung-hole and slaked his thirst with the plug; or, if the barrel had pulled the Uaug hule out of the plug and slaked its thirst with the burse: or, if the plug had pulled the hor e out of the barrel and slaked its j thirst with th# bung-hole; or, if the bung- ■ bole had pulled the thirst out of the horse and sicked die plug with the barrel; or. if the barrel bad pulled the horse out of the bung-li.le and plugged its thirst with the alake. it might be worth while to wake sow* fuss about it.
